The ConsttlaIionaiity OF thc Acs
Confirmed.

The supreme court of Pennsylvania
Monday rendered decision regarding
the sale of oleomargarine, affirming the
copstitutionality and validity Of the Oleo-
margarine act Of May 21st, 1885, in an
opinion by Judge Sterrett, TO which Judge
Gordon filed an emphatic dissent. The
opinion sustainH the court OF quarter
sessions Of Dauphin county in overriding
the motion for new trial in the test case
OF W. Il. Powell of Harrisburg, who was
convicted under this act. Tho opinion
sets forth that it has been shown very
clearly ''that the act Ia not ia conflict with
any provision OF either the state or Fed
eral constitution, and that the general
assembly in enaotipg the law did not
transcend the limits of legislative
authority; but il there should ho any
doubt as to tue cOnstiiutiouality Of tue
act. It should be resolved ia favor 81 ats
validity as proper exercise Of legislative
power" Ia his opinion the Judge CON
linues: "The manufacture, Gale and
keeping Of an article may all alike bepro-
hibited by the legislature, il In theii
| Judgment. the protection of the pnhllc
from injury and fraud requires it, 10
deny the authority of the legislature to
do SO is to attack all that is vital in the
police power
Previous to the passage Of the Federal
law, 100 dealers were arrested for viola
| ton of the state law regulating the sale
of oleomargarine, and since the enact
ment of the law about So persons have
been arrested, oil at the instance of the
Farmers and Dairymen's Association
Each Of the accused dealers was fned
800, but, pending the decision of the
Supreme Court, entered bail in yarioui
sums instead of paying the fine imposed
which they will nov be compelled to for
felt. Pennsylvania is the largest con
sinner of oleomargarine, and in view o
this fact number of prominent dealer
declare il will practically cause the sus
pension or its manufacture in cthe
| sections.
